Using the original ratio of 5/2, if there is 20 parts apple juice how many parts cranberry juice will there be?

Question

A.
8
B.
3
C.
10
D.
6

Answer 1

To find the number of parts cranberry juice, we can use the original ratio. The original ratio is 5 parts apple juice to 2 parts cranberry juice.

If there are 20 parts apple juice, we can set up the following proportion:

5 parts apple juice / 2 parts cranberry juice = 20 parts apple juice / x parts cranberry juice

Cross-multiplying, we get:

5 * x = 20 * 2

5x = 40

Dividing both sides by 5, we find:

x = 8

Therefore, there will be 8 parts cranberry juice.

The answer is A. 8.

Answer 2

Using the original ratio 5:2, what is another equivalent ratio for this juice mixture?
A.
20 to 50
B.
10: 5
C.
40/16
D.
100/200

Answer 3

To find another equivalent ratio for the original ratio of 5:2, we can multiply both the numerator and denominator by the same factor. This will preserve the ratio while scaling it up or down.

Let's try multiplying both 5 and 2 by 4:

(5 * 4) : (2 * 4) = 20 : 8

So, another equivalent ratio for the juice mixture is 20:8.
